Chondroitin is a substance naturally present in joint tissues, particularly in cartilage. It is one of the components associated with the cartilage matrix, a specialised tissue that plays an important role in the flexibility and mechanical resistance of joints.
It belongs to the family of glycosaminoglycans, molecules capable of retaining water in tissues. This characteristic contributes to the natural properties of cartilage, which must remain flexible, hydrated and resistant to the mechanical demands of everyday movement.
In Articora, chondroitin is provided as marine-origin chondroitin sulfate, with no source from crustaceans. This form has a long history of use in nutritional approaches dedicated to joints and is one of the well-established references in this field.
It is combined with glucosamine and vitamin C in a complete nutritional approach dedicated to joint tissues.
